    Nomadic camping
    Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
    Access to McCoy's Creek and local wildlife to relax and take in the fresh air. With views across the Gold Coast hinterland this tranquil location will leave you breathless. The options to set your location ranges from open flat areas with views or nestled amongst the trees on the lower parts. The property is a rural and simple location to sit back and get off the beaten track. There are 3-4 sites that are relatively even but others require leveling equipment for your caravan. Located minutes from the Gold Coast theme parks you can camp the night and enjoy the what the Gold Coast has to offer by day. Mccoys Creek Views allows campers to bring pets and enjoy a fire whilst relaxing with family & friends Bring your off grid camper/ caravan along for a no frills scenic experience off the beaten track but close to the Gold Coast's thrilling theme park district. Please note that - pets must be well behaved and on a leash at all times. Fires are not allowed during fire bans.

    The campsite offers a mix of tranquility and convenience, being close to the city yet feeling like a secluded retreat. Many visitors appreciated the beautiful views from the hilltop and the proximity to theme parks. However, the presence of mosquitoes and midges was a recurring issue, with several campers mentioning discomfort despite using insect repellent. Some also noted issues with maintenance and noise from other campers, affecting the overall experience.

    We love the locality of this campsite to Dreamworld. We loved the open space and listening to the wildlife including Koalas and frogs. We loved hearing the roar of the ocean in the distance. We didn't enjoy being stuck at the gate and we quickly departed in the morning due to the masses of midges eating us during the night even after applying Bushman's insect repellent.

    This was a fine spot to sleep overnight while passing through the Gold Coast. It was close to the city and location was easy to find. Unfortunately the owner or previous campers had left broken chairs and tarps and there was also a burnt car nearby so it felt like a bit of a dump. There was also a security camera in the tree next to the tent which was bizarre.

    Success story
    Tent
    After getting turned back by rough conditions at Jacobs Well boat ramp around 7:00 pm we were able to drag our gear up Adrian’s Land to settle into a nice night and even better sunrise.

    What’s a spot !
    16 ft car
    We absolutely loved our weekend at this stay. Adrian is a good guy and was great to communicate with. What’s not to like about this place. The views, the privacy, the fact that it’s basically in town but feels like your 100km west. Yeah there’s mozzies for 30 min at dusk but where isn’t there. 5g phone reception means we could stream the footy which is rare with most camp stays. We stayed in a 2wd camper van and no issues getting in. Will definetly return to this gem !
